Lost in Cognitio's Labyrinth?
So, I'm starting at Cognitio College next semester. The campus map looks like a freakin' Escher drawing – seriously, I've walked in circles for twenty minutes just trying to find the library. Anyone… more
Yeah, Cognitio's campus is a nightmare. I spent a whole week getting hopelessly lost before I just started memorizing landmark buildings. The library's near that weird spiral staircase thing, past the suspiciously identical-looking lecture halls... Trust me, you're not alone. My advice? Download the campus map to your phone and print a paper copy. Even then, prepare to get turned around at least once a day. Also, that squirrel? Probably a mascot. Or maybe a time traveler. Who knows with that place?
Seriously? A time-traveling squirrel?! Okay, that made my day. I was starting to think I was hallucinating from lack of sleep and caffeine withdrawal. The identical lecture halls are the WORST. I swear they're all connected by secret passages designed to test your sanity. Downloading the map is a genius idea – I should've thought of that. Thanks! Guess I'll be printing a physical copy, just in case my phone decides to spontaneously combust from the sheer stress of navigating that labyrinth.
Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally went to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, the baked BBQ pork buns were AMAZING. Seriously, life-changing. But here's the thing: I saw a bunch of… more
That sounds incredible! Tim Ho Wan is a classic for a reason, but yeah, sometimes the best stuff is what the locals are devouring. It's entirely possible they were ordering something from their special menu, or maybe a dish that's only available at certain times of day. Checking out some Hong Kong food blogs with pictures might help – visual recognition is your friend here. Also, browsing the menus of other popular dim sum places in the city could give you clues; often, they'll have similar items under different names. Good luck on your quest for dim sum enlightenment! You'll crack the code.
Totally! Visual recognition is key – I should have taken more pics. I was too busy inhaling everything. The special menu idea is genius, though. Never thought of that! Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely check out some blogs and menus. Maybe next time I'll even try to subtly eavesdrop on other diners' orders... Operation Dim Sum Domination is a go!
